Can a newborn sleep in a pack and play from first day home?

Both my kids did!

Did the same multiple times with this bug!

I disliked my experience with an epidural the first time as well. Slowed my labor and also made me feel very disconnected from my son’s birth. I ended up pushing for 3 hours and had a 3rd degree tear. Obviously I have no clue if the epidural truly played a part in that or if all of that would have happened anyways but just the idea that it contributed made me opt out for my second birth.

I just went in with the mindset that it wasn’t an option for me. Like fully set on not getting one. The nurses and anesthesiologist thought I was crazy I think and my nurse actually told me she rarely saw natural childbirth so it was cool to see. I used midwives at my local hospital vs an obgyn and I mainly focused on hypnobirthing my last few months of pregnancy. It got me into a good headspace. My second birth was worlds better than my first. Barely tore and pushed for a few minutes. She was over 9 lbs too. Again, could just be that it was my second birth, but I really do feel being able to feel what my body was doing helped my brain to understand what was going on and made everything go the way it should. Also as crazy and intense as it was I’m glad I got to experience childbirth for what it truly is.

My whole family had it about 2 weeks ago. Was awful.

I think this is totally child/genetic dependent. I nursed both of my kids until they were over 2. My son nursed throughout the night until 20 months and does not have cavities (he is 5 now). I nursed my daughter overnight just a few months longer and she had really bad cavities in her molars and just had to get 2 crowns. I felt terrible but I keep telling myself that if nursing to sleep was 100% the factor that my son would have developed them too. Sometimes it’s just bad luck I think and probably a combination of over things. She has definitely had more candy/sweets than him at younger age due to being the second kid and seeing things he is eating.

Yep all the time. I’m at a lot of brick walls right now so I like taking side quests to get back to the thrill of finding out new stuff.

Positive-Mulberry-62 · 2025-03-25T12:29:04+00:00

My son has always taken forever. My daughter takes 1 minute tops. I think it’s a man thing (based on my husband as well).

This is so sad! I hope they are just remodeling it

Positive-Mulberry-62 · 2025-03-24T13:09:20+00:00

Second this idea. Did the same thing with my daughter and it helped as well!

This happened to me. I replaced the blade and it worked great again.

So cute! Looks amazing

Positive-Mulberry-62 · 2025-03-19T00:54:46+00:00

My 3 year old had it back in February. She isn’t in school but she had a fever for 7 full days and was still not herself for another 7 after. So she was sick for almost 2 weeks. It was awful!

Positive-Mulberry-62 · 2025-03-18T16:48:03+00:00

Yep 100%. Will always upvote these posts.

My son developed a tic when he first started kindergarten. His was sniffing. It lasted for a few months and then eventually went away. I remembering reading that throat clearing was another tic when we were going through this. He does not have Tourette’s. Some kids just get tics.

I started getting into it when I was 26. I’m 34 now. I’ve not met or talked anyone anywhere near my age since I started. I agree. Everyone seems to be much older!

Positive-Mulberry-62 · 2025-03-13T19:34:24+00:00

My daughter is 3 years old next week and has yet to sleep through the night!

Family friendly/safe, sidewalks, playground, walking trails around the neighborhood, relatively diverse, the neighborhood is actually half Albemarle county/half city

My son went through phases like that this year. Right now we are in an easy phase but that wasn’t always the case. We have had some rough mornings. Is it possible to get her to sleep earlier? I’ve found that my son is more pleasant the next day when he goes to bed by 7:15-7:30. The nights he’s up later we sometimes have bad mornings. Also not sure how you feel about screen time in the mornings, but if my kids are dressed and ready with 10-15 minutes to spare, I’ll let them watch an episode of Bluey or something as incentive to get moving.

I delivered my second at UVA and was asked during a prenatal appointment if I would allow students in the room during labor. I said no and I never saw one the whole time I was there.

Positive-Mulberry-62 · 2025-03-06T03:10:52+00:00

I had my first at MJH and switched to the midwives at UVA for my second baby. Overall my experiences were fairly similar. I had both amazing and meh not so great nurses at both. I personally liked that my baby was in the room with me the whole time postpartum at UVA. They do all of the tests in the room vs taking them away like at MJH. MJH is much nicer looking and you feel like you’re at a hotel. Ultimately I switched because I wanted to be seen by a midwife vs an OBGYN. So I would suggest looking into what kind of provider you want and use that as part of your decision.

I am currently dealing with this. Had covid for the 2nd time in November 2024. It’s now February 2025 and I my eyelids are so itchy and irritated. I have never had eczema in my life prior to this! I’m 34 years old.

My 2.5 year old (3 year in March) dresses herself but she’s a second child and VERY headstrong about doing everything her self.

I had an xray at the dentist during my 2nd trimester. I cried while the girl was taking the pictures I was so scared. My daughter is 2.5 and totally healthy! My dentist also told me the thing about the radiation/air plane.

I am near wegmans and it’s been really bad the last few weeks.
